Vanja Milinkovic-Savic stands tall among his Serbia under-17 team mates

6 Milinkovic has conceded just three goals in those appearances and has still to finish on the losing side, enjoying further wins over Estonia, Republic of Ireland and Georgia plus draws with Greece and Germany.

7 United spotted him when he gave an impressive performance during that 1-1 draw with the Germans in March and invited him to England for trials.

8 FK Vojvodina acted quickly after hearing of United’s interest and he signed his first professional deal on April 2. His older brother Sergei already plays for their first team.

9 He will be hoping to become only the third Serbian to play for United’s first team, following on from Nemanja Vidic, who made 300 appearances in eight seasons up to the end of this season, and Zoran Tosic who played five times in 2009-10.

10 Milinkovic is the first signing to be made by United since they sacked David Moyes as manager last month.
